About Pawley Stuidos:
Husband and wife team, Amanda and Daniel Pawley, started their work together in college at Western Kentucky University. After graduation, they began the steps to create art they way thy saw fit. Pawley Studios is the current culmination of that work.
Amanda Pawley is a full time potter focusing on ceramic knitting accessories and fun yarnie mugs. Amanda has been making pots for 15 years. She took her first class in 2003, and has been working in clay ever since. After college, Amanda worked with full time potter in Florida for two years, which is where she learned more of the business side of being an artist.
Amanda’s favorite part of the process is throwing pieces on the wheel. It is very relaxing! It is extremely easy to get caught up in the process and lose track of time, very similar to knitting and crocheting. She love making functional ware, making beautiful pieces that also have a purpose.
Daniel and Amanda believe handmade crafts stimulate an emotional connection with the user. They are happiest when people enjoy using one of their pots. All of their clay and glazes are food, dishwasher, microwave and oven safe.
The Pawley’s created a production studio in the downtown square of Russellville Kentucky and have been there for about 10 years. They use this location for their wholesale business to many knitting shops across the country and to promote the arts in a local atmosphere.
Taking a look at their website you will see that they hand make everything, and they even do customer orders. One of the unique things about their process is that they live stream their creation process on Twitch.tv. This allows the customer to see the process from start to finish and you can watch your piece being made, adding one more level to the personalization.

What beautiful creations- even down to the paw print hallmark!!!
What an interesting show! Would love to have one of your items with a paw print!
Love the mugs and bowls. The cat paw print stamp is awesome. Would love one.
Love watching the Pawley Studio Demo today. Love seeing the “PAW PRINT” logo on the mugs. Yarn Bowls are great. I’m thinking I need to order some of those mugs for my knitting friends for Christmas. Great Idea Marley for thinking about Christmas. PAW PRINT!!!
Watching Amanda throw really brings me back! Ceramics was one of my favorite art classes I took in high school and it really is relaxing/mesmerizing throwing on the wheel. Love the personal touch she adds with the paw print on the bottom of the mugs and yarn bowls!
It is a really great idea to have a PAW PRINT on your products, that make them unique.
Lost my dog, love the Paw print, Ah maybe bday gift. Great to watch!
I missed the mention of Western Kentucky University during the live. That’s my husband’s alma mater! Go Toppers I need to get a Pawley creation with the paw print stamped on the bottom!
How neat to watch the live demo of the pottery. I wonder if any real pawprints are added to the pieces. Looking forward to seeing more of pawley’s work!
You do such beautiful work! How did you ever train your cat to put his paw print on the bottom of everything you make? I tried to get my cat to put a paw print on a birthday card for his dad, my ex-husband. He wasn’t very cooperative. LOL! Seriously, I would love to win one of your yarn bowls. In case I don’t, I am headed to your website now.
I loved the podcast! It was great watching you make the bowl and cup on the wheel. It so cool to see your studio cat and the paw print stamp on each piece.
What a pleasure that was. Such a relaxing podcast, just loved it. Putting a Paw print on the bottom of the cup, what a creative way to put your stamp on your products!
I love the colors in your yarn bowls and mugs. I’ve never used a yarn bowl before but I think it would be so nice to have something pretty to use while knitting. It’s fun that you get your pets involved and include paw prints on the work.
The paw print stamp on the bottom of your pieces are a great added touch! Heading over to your website to check out all your wonderful pottery!
I love your designs and enjoyed watching you shape objects on the pottery wheel. I tried it a couple of times in high school, and it is much harder than it looks. I share your love of cats and like your paw prints on every item you make.
Pawprint! or Paw Print. 😀 This is one of the best streams on twitch!
Enjoyed learning about a new company and craft. Paw print logo is super cute.
Enjoyed the interview and learning about Twitch, which I had never heard about. Paw print is a great logo.
We have a lovely pet rat, Blue Chez. She has the cutest paw print. I would to see her’s on a a piece of ceramics.
I just love that she finishes her projects with a PAW PRINT. Its as if her cat has a hand in every item. too cute.
I love the paw print signature she puts on each piece! What a wonderful idea.
Paw Prints are just adorable 🙂
The paw print on the bottom of their stuff is so cute!
Hi Marly and Amanda, love the show. I will have to check out Twitch…new one on me. I love that you are in Kentucky. Do you sell anywhere in Louisville? I am going to browse your webpage so I can give some hints to people. Thank you!
Paw Print – the marks on our heart
I love the paw print seal of approval! The yarn bowls are absolutely gorgeous and will definitely be something I will consider buying
I love the paw print signature!
Paw print is very whimsical and definitely brings an element of fun to the yarn bowl. It would remind me of my dog, who is old and frail.
